Stewardship Awareness Sunday September 23

When we use our gifts in the way God intends, we experience true joy!

Commitment Sunday - September 30th

Our parish continues to "Fulfill the Mission of Jesus"by responding to His stewardship call to be disciples -- doing His work here on earth. There are many examples of stewardship shown by our parishioners:

Maintaining the parish facilities that we have been blessed with from past generations;

Continuing our great outreach to those in need in our community;

Respectfully caring for the cemetery grounds where our loved ones rest in peace;

So many parishioners volunteering in the various organized fundraising programs throughout the parish to subsidize the parish budget and assist in the financial support of our Catholic grade school;

Volunteers sharing their time to assist our parish and school staff.

In addition to continuing this mission call, there is so much more that can be offered -- new ministries for our parish families which are not currently in the budget.

Prayer strengthens our relationship with God and keeps us focused on our stewardship calling. I am asking you to prayerfully consider how you and your family can help Saint Francis Borgia continue the work of Christ in our parish.

Please complete the Commitment Card sharing your generosity intentions and the Covenant Card offering your time and talent intentions to fulfill the mission of Jesus here at Saint Francis Borgia parish. You will have an opportunity to return both at Mass this weekend.

Thanks for all you are able to do for our parish!

Festival of Ministries - Sunday, September 16

Parishioners from each of the active ministries in our parish will be present this Sunday during the parish breakfast to share their experience and details about their ministry. Every parishioner has some gift to offer, some role to play in the parish community. You never know what joy can be brought into your life until you try something new!

Stop by on your way to breakfast to learn how you can participate more fully at Saint Francis Borgia Parish! There are many ways to share our stewardship gifts as shown at our parish Festival of Ministries. If you are not able to attend, you can click on the link below for brief descriptions of our many ministries and organizations. Thank you for all you do for our parish!

Our Parish Stewardship Prayer

My parish is composed of people like me. I help make it what it is. It will be friendly, if I am. It will be holy, if I am. Its pews will be filled, if I help fill them. It will do great work, if I work. It will be prayerful, if I pray.

It will make generous gifts to many causes, if I am a generous giver. It will bring others into its worship, if I invite and bring them. It will be a parish of loyalty and love, of fearlessness and faith, of compassion, charity and mercy, if I, who make it what it is, am filled with these same things.

Therefore, with the help fo God, I now dedicate myself to the task of being all the things that I want my parish to be. Amen.
